A child drowned at sea after a canoe carrying people from the Turkish coast capsized during a crossing to the island of Lesbos in Greece.
It marks the first death since Turkey opened its border so migrants and refugees can leave for Europe and comes as Greek police fired tear gas at migrants trying to cross the land border.
The Greek coast guard claimed 46 migrants on an inflatable boat towards the island of Lesbos, accompanied by a Turkish patrol boat in Turkish waters, deliberately knocked down once in Greek waters.
The incident triggered a rescue operation and the coast guard said they had rescued the migrants, including two children who were transported to hospital – one of them them unconscious.
Resuscitation efforts for the unconscious child, a boy aged six or seven, have failed, while the other child's medical condition is not expected to be fatal.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is said to aim to put pressure on Europe to further support Turkey in its aftermath of the war in Syria in the south.
More than 10,000 migrants, mainly from Syria, other states in the Middle East and Afghanistan, have reached Turkey's land borders with the EU states, Greece and Bulgaria since last Thursday.
Today, thousands of migrants have continued to find a way to cross the land border from Turkey to Greece, which has made it clear that its borders will remain closed.
Greek and Turkish police fired tear gas at throwing rock throngs trapped between the fences of No Man's Land.
Dozens managed to cross the border barriers while others reached the Greek Islands from the Turkish coast by boat, while others attempted to swim on the Evros River.
Greek police said at least 1,000 migrants had reached the Greek Aegean islands since yesterday morning.
